Window blinds and shades are the best way to decrease sun damage.

Now that the warm weather is here, more homeowners are opening up their windows and letting the summer air into their homes. However, the ultraviolet rays found in sunlight can be damaging to your flooring, furniture and other areas of your home. According to the Clarendon Patch, window blinds and shades are the best option to protect your home from sun damage.

There are many options available on the market to protect your home from the sun's rays, and one idea is solar window film. This is a kind of window tint that will filter out harmful ultraviolet light - they also come in sheer varieties as well.

Of course, the most cost-effective option to protect your home is by installing curtains or draperies in conjunction with some window blinds and shades. Wood blinds are an ideal option - they can suit just about any interior design and instantly add warmth to your living spaces.

For a window treatment that will add a bit more texture, roman shades are the obvious choice. Their timeless design will perk up any décor and they come in a wide range of colors and style.
